Please please please don't move a matchup with Oklahoma or Texas to Paycor. We need them in Nippert if only once. I wonder if we can get that point across to the UC admin that we don't like playing there

NEW YORK -- Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark described recent discussions with television partners ESPN and Fox as "meaningful" as the conference looks into the possibility of striking a media rights deal almost two years before the current contract expires.
"So (the conference) is not a free agent," Yormark told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "I can't go out there and talk to an Amazon or an Apple or CBS. But in a world that's changing, why don't we explore an early conversation which could, maybe, lead to a negotiation. And I can tell you that we've had meaningful conversations for the last three-plus weeks, and we'll see where they go."
The Big 12 announced in late August it planned to engage ESPN and Fox, even though the exclusive negotiating window between the conference and the networks does not open until February 2024. The Big 12's deals with the networks expire in June of that year.
"There's no timetable," Yormark said. "If we can't get to a deal, then the fallback is 16 months from now. But I'm a big fan of ESPN. I'm a big fan of Fox. We're at a point right now where it's important to elevate and amplify our brand. And I think they're the two best partners to do it."

The conference has a new media company and part of the deal is sports wagering.

Kirkham was the Detroit Pistons' VP of Brand and Marketing strategy, while Williams also worked for the Pistons as associate VP of brand communications.

That stinks but it’s not the first time for something like that. Texas and A&M have been on hiatus since TAMU moved to the SEC. They’re getting the SWC band back together coming up in a season or so.
I thought UC Miami were the longest west of the Allegheny mountains and Rutgers or Harvard and Yale were older but I’m probably wrong.Last edited by Lobot; 09-28-2022, 10:16 AM.

Oklahoma and OSU will no longer have the Bedlam rivalry because of realignment. Another rivalry bites the dust.

Draper is a total zero in my eyes. His solution to scheduling this season, was to take last season's schedule and swap location. I can't believe he is getting paid for such a BS job! This will be the 3rd straight season Houston avoids playing us. I'm also less than wowed by the Bowl tie ins the AAC has. Thumbs down on this turd.

The Big 12 is finalizing a deal to hire Scott Draper of the American Athletic Conference as the league's new vice president in charge of football, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Draper spent the last eight seasons running football at the AAC, where he served as the primary contact for the league's coaches and administers. His job at the AAC included everything from scheduling to officiating to operations, bowl relationships and the conference championship game.
Draper will take over for Ed Stewart, who left the Big 12 for a high-ranking role in the athletic department at USC after 16 years as the league's top football administrator.
